Universal

Prologue

Imagine an anthill.... far off in the middle of a field. Surrounded, as far as the eye can see, by tall grass and trees. If you were, perhaps, an ant; this would be the only world you knew. You would assume, as the other ants would, that this is all there was... and all there ever would be. You would be so familiar with the sights, sounds and smells around you that even the thought of life beyond your own home would be absolutely ridiculous. And, God forbid, another ant come to you with the notion that there may just be another anthill far far away, you would laugh with disbelief and irritation. 

     Now, as humans, we understand that this idea simply isn’t true. We exist, in the ants world, as do millions of other anthills filled with billions of other ants. Having worked through this conundrum on behalf of the ant, can we entertain the idea that maybe, just maybe.... our world isn’t as small as we once thought? Is it safe to say that there is a chance of life beyond our walls? 

     Whatever you believe, it doesn’t matter. The answer is already there, and with it comes several more hard truths we must explore if we want our anthill safe from the pesticide that is to come. 

..................................................................

Long ago, before any living being can remember, the universe was spoken into existence. As the God of all spoke His words of life, 7 planets were formed, and on those planets 7 nations were born. 

   For centuries, each planet blossomed and evolved, with the Creators intentions in mind. The beings on each planet lived and learned. They loved, and grew. But, as they developed, they became creatures of habit, and their minds, while having the potential to do far more than they realized became stagnant and grew small. You see... they knew nothing of the other planets. Knew nothing of the other beings, so different yet so alike them, that lived far in the distance. 

      The Creator never intended for his creations to be so blinded. They thought only of themselves, and never even tried to seek the truth beyond their immediate sight. He had the power to bend His creations to His will, causing their actions to be only what He demanded from them. But He wouldn’t. He was good, and had given to His people, the freedom of their own will. 

     In sorrow, He watched as each nation began to struggle. They were never intended to live alone. His great design was that they would all learn about each other, teaching and loving one another until together they formed a grand universe. 

    In keeping with free will, balancing the good of the Creator with the evil that had formed in His people another being had emerged. Formed from the wrong doings and ill intent of the nations, an evil ruler had been born. While his power would never rival that if the Creator, he had the ability to turn the hearts of the nations away from the Creator and away from each other. 

     The Creator, having only the purest love for all that he had created knew that He must do something to stop the advances of the evil one. He must create a salvation for His people that would give them guidance and direction for the path that He had planned for them, while not stealing from them the freedom to choose their own way. This salvation could not be forged from the nations, as they had already become too evil and hardened, so from Himself a savior was born and was sent, along with a plan, to the  planet of Earth to begin the redemption.
